Sony announces new FW for A77

I have been a registered owner of Sony cameras for 6 years and have re-registered my ownership every time I have bought a new model. I just received this evening a message from Sony Europe (MySony@crm.sony-europe.com) advising me that there is an ‘Important firmware update for your Camera’. Hopefully anticipating that this must be a further update for the A77 to succeed 1.05, I opened the e-mail link. And what did I find – an announcement that FW 1.05 is now available!

Checking my download folder I discovered that it is exactly 2 months to the day (31st March) since I installed v1.05. So it has taken Sony Europe 61 days before they advised their loyal clients that a critical FW update has been released.
